You'll know for sure if you suddenly get crushed at 100 meters.
After the attack there was an escort close by pinging so I let my boat slip down to 150 metres before increasing speed to maintain depth. I managed to evade and surface sometime later to resume my attack on the convoy, but luckily didn't have to dive again to avoid the escorts. I got back to Kiel and discovered my hull integrity had dropped to 76%.

The water is an indicator that whilst you have stemmed the flooding that compartment has sustained damage that is not repairable until you return to base.

Had you the hull integrity viewable it would show a % drop from 100%

I notice he has no repair qualified POs (I can't tell about the officers). Would a complete lack of repair staff make some damage intractable? Or would they just the damage fixed faster, but only to that level?

I couldn't honestly say, I've never tried or tested that before.

I suspect the compartment would eventually be destroyed and the boat with it

All my PO's that have attained the most senior rank available to them have repair qualifications, you just can't see it without actually clicking on the PO. Once a PO has attained the highest rank available to them (I'm sure someone will be able to name that rank) they can gain up to three qualifications.

It is well known that you can assign up to three qualifiactions to PO through Commander , but only the first one counts.
Ie If a PO has the Machinist qual and then the repair SH3 understands only the Machinist.
As for the sailors , assiging quals is only eye-candy.
Only officers have three real qualifications.

I hoped I helped.

Thanks, I didn't know that regarding PO's. I knew that the sailors quals were eye candy, but it helps me organise the crew in the boat.

This being the case then, even if you haven't got any suitably qualified repair PO's, presumably if the green bar is full in the damage control team section you are still at full repair capacity?

You are welcome.
Now, I don't think this can be done.
You need qualified as repair POs to fill the damage control bar.
